Atomos Shogun 7 Recorder Firmware 10.4

Quad HD live switching and 5 channel recording

- Record up to 4 channels as ISOs, plus a simultaneous program recording.
- View and record up to four asynchronous 1080p/1080i SDI inputs at up to 60 frames per second.
- Loop out program feed via HDMI or SDI, or both simultaneously.
- A multi-cam Apple Final Cut .xml project can automatically be created with touch screen selectable options for hard cuts or dissolves.

Fully configurable audio:

- Each ISO channel can record embedded channels plus the analog XLR input.
- The program feed can be configured to record audio from any single ISO channel and/or the analog XLR audio input. Alternatively the audio can follow the embedded audio from each ISO channel as it switches between sources.

Important notes:

- To enable switching navigate to the input menu and select SDI Multistream as the source.
- SDI Input 1 must always be connected to a source for the system to function correctly.
- All four inputs must be configured to the exact same frame rate. A warning will pop-up on the screen for a misconfiguration and recording will be disabled until all inputs match. Be sure the check the actual frame rate is precisely matched eg. all cameras are 1080p23.98 and not a combination of 1080p23.98 and 1080p24.
- XML projects will only be generated if all channels used for the program feed also have ISO recording selected. It is recommended that all available ISO channels are recorded when Final Cut projects are required.
- Dissolves are not visible during recording or playback. Dissolves only visible once imported to FCP X.

Known issues:

- Occassionally when using 1080p60 genlocked inputs the 1up view may become frozen. To clear this event unplug and re-plug input 1.
- Some cameras which only output 1080p50/60 Level B SDI may not be compatible. If you experience this problem please set the camera output to SDI Level A, or change the frame rate to 1080p25/30 and power cycle your Shogun 7.

About Video Recorder Adapter Updates:

Applying a new firmware package on your Video Recorder adapter should improve overall performance and stability, fix various issues encountered with the device, or add support for newly developed features.

The Video Recorder adapter should be carefully upgraded by a power user (that is to say, someone who has the know-how to successfully complete the process), but it can also be performed by an average user at his or her own risk.

Either way, given the fact that each producer has their own method for installing a new firmware, and that every device has a particular way to enter the update mode, you must not consider upgrading the adapter's software until you have read and thoroughly understood the installation steps.

As a rule, said steps shouldn't pose too much of a challenge because manufacturers strive to make them as easy as possible. As with everything else, exceptions do occur, and users should be prepared for them.

Usually, you should transfer the compatible firmware to the Recorder through a USB cable or a memory card, and afterwards enter update mode from the unit's setup menu or through a specific power-on method.

With this in mind, if you intend to apply this release, make sure the package is compatible with your Video Recorder and that it brings about the changes you want or require; hit the download button and apply the new firmware.

Don't forget to regularly check with our website so that you don't miss any updates.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
